34 week appointment


i had my 34 week appointment, which was actually a bit late--more like 35 weeks. anyway, everything looks good. i have been having contractions, especially when i am walking alot or doing alot of physical activity. claire actually accompanied chris and i to the appointment, which was a nice change. she wasn't so sure what doctor r. was doing to my tummy or what she was hearing when he put the doppler on my belly. she sort of stared in awe. everything went well. the baby's heartbeat was 132 bpm, blood pressure was great, and i am measuring on target. he wants me to make it 2 more weeks, which will be full term. during which time, i am to take it easy so i don't progress on my own, especially since i've been experiencing contractions. i am at the point of weight gain that i ended with claire. kind of scary considering i still have 4 weeks to go. ugh. we go back early next week for our final ultrasound. both chris and i are very excited about this as we haven't seen this kiddo since 17 weeks. claire will join us at that appointment too, which will be fun.

Well, I thought I would spread the news to you so you could feel hopeful. Jill had her baby! It was a girl and they named her Sophie Elizabeth. She was 6 pounds and a few ounces and 19 inches long. It was a C-section as she was backwards and breech. She was two weeks early.

I'm glad that we won't have to wait too much longer to meet your newest one :)

That is exciting. Have you been to visit yet? I am holding out hope that this kiddo will arrive before her expected date of may 15th, but my kids and my wishes don't always seem to mesh. Oh well. I suppose I should be enjoying the calm.

I haven't had a visit yet - but since her shower was gender neutral I did run out and buy a few more girlie things to bring with me. I am most likely going to try to go this weekend to give them a chance to get settled back into home :).

We still want to see you guys - when are you free?

A post

You wanted it, you asked for it, so here it is. A post. Hopefully this post will satisfy all your desires. I am not writing about the apple of my eye, Claire, but of the other apple of my eye--reality tv. I love it! Right now I am getting my fill of Big Brother. I have even lured Chris into my dark place. He mostly watched last season because Dick was such a jerk, but Chris is hooked. He's a dedicated viewer once again this season. Sadly, he was a fan of Matty who was kicked off a few weeks ago. I don't think I have a favorite. I find them all to be so obnoxious, yet I watch. Go figure. I obviously need some more excitement in my life. Girls who wear butt showing shorts, screaming matches, verbal abuse, crazy eyes, back stabbing, boys running around in their colored tighty whiteys (if tighty whiteys are colored, are they still called tighty whiteys?)---all in one episode! It is a gold mine. My second can't miss show is Housewives of Orange County or New York City. I really

2 weeks...

As I write this, my house is being cleaned and not by me. This is my favorite day of the week. There is nothing like going home to a clean house and smelling the bleach to know it is germ free as well. This is my second good day in a row! I took the day off yesterday. Claire didn't have school due to Fasching (German equivalent of Halloween--minus the door to door trick or treating), so I gave Mya the option of hanging out with us as well. She took some convincing, but later said she had a great day. I must admit that I was focused on giving my back a much needed break, so my morning consisted of napping and laying on the couch. Not my best parenting in action, but it did wonders for the rest of the day. We met Chris for lunch, then returned home to enjoy the sunshine before the girls' swimming lessons. It was in the 50's yesterday, absolutely gorgeous! It really is hard to believe that we made it through the entire winter with no snow. I think it snowed possibly 2 days, b

Claire, Mya and the NEWS

Chris and I had this elaborate plan on how we were going to share the news with our girls. I ordered adorable shirts, which took forever to get here. They were supposed to ship Oct. 4, but didn't. I am not a patient soul at all. I love to share good news and spread the excitement. We went to a German doctor last week for a gender reveal ultrasound. He was 99% certain of his selection. Claire and I began looking at clothes online. She asked questions about why we were looking at baby clothing, but thankfully, my sister has a little guy and a baby girl who is due in December. They are my perfect excuses for all things baby! Claire asked nothing more and began pointing out things we should buy Jackson or the new baby girl. Our weekends typically involve partaking in a local event or just relaxing, which means a trip to the KMCC Mall. Saturday we went shopping or at least looking. Once again, the girls became excited, choosing items for Jackson or the new baby girl. I decided I cou
